Thank you Kucinta for your help you r a star

Happy to help.

Hi its me again sorry to be a pain.on the 1901 census it says that Jessie Ann Ashbrook born 1884 and a servant wasliving with a family called Faulkners.in my tree I have Richard Ashbrook born 1830 married to Ann Faulkner.parents of George Ashbrook born 1854.George was the father of Jessie Ann Ashbrook.i don't have any other Faulkners in my tree and was wondering with Jessie living with the Faulkners were they related thanks.

Your Richard, Ann and George in 1861 for Ann's birthplace which on the image of the register is dittoed Kelsall:

1861 England, Wales & Scotland Census

Kelsall, Great Boughton, Cheshire, England

William Ashbrook Son Unmarried Male 4 1857 Scholar -
Margaret Ashbrook Daughter Unmarried Female 3 1858 Scholar -

The head of the Faulkner family in census 1901 was Henry:


Henry Faulkner Head Married Male 39 1862 Farmer Kingsley, Cheshire, England

In 1871 with his parents:

1871 England, Wales & Scotland Census

Wigans Lake, Kingsley, Runcorn, Cheshire, England

Henery Faulkner Head - Male 55 1816 - Derbyshire, England
Hannah Faulkner Wife - Female 51 1820 - Cheshire, England
Abraham Faulkner Son - Male 27 1844 - Cheshire, England
Hannah Faulkner Daughter - Female 17 1854 - Cheshire, England
Martha Faulkner Daughter - Female 11 1860 - Cheshire, England
Henery Faulkner Son - Male 9 1862 - Cheshire, England

On the image Henry sr's birth place looks like Sudbury Derbyshire, but in the cnesus for 1861, it looks like Somershall Derbyshire.

This looks likely to be his baptism, with parents John and Hannah:

First name(s) Henry
Last name Falkner
Baptism year 1815
Baptism date 17 Sep 1815
Place Sudbury, All Saints<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Parents John & Hannah
Father's occupation Wheelwright
Residence Hill Somersall<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<

Country England

I can find 3 other children for John and Hannah, namely Ann c1813, Samuel c1819 and Joseph c1821, who would be too young to be the parents of Ann Faulkner's father Benjamin.

The only Benjamin Faulkner I can find in Kelsall is this one, but Ann is not living with the family:

1851 England, Wales & Scotland Census

Brook Spout, Kelsall, Great Boughton, Cheshire, England

Benjamin Faulkner Head Married Male 37 1814 Ag Labourer Hargrave, Cheshire, England
Margaret Faulkner Wife Married Female 41 1810 Ag Labourer's Wife Tarvin, Cheshire, England
Thomas Faulkner Son - Male 12 1839 Scholar Kelsall, Cheshire, England
James Faulkner Son - Male 10 1841 Scholar Kelsall, Cheshire, England
Charles Faulkner Son - Male 8 1843 Scholar Kelsall, Cheshire, England
Enoch Faulkner Son - Male 6 1845 - Kelsall, Cheshire, England

Benjamin is born Hargrave, Cheshire.

I'm not seeing any immediate connection between the two Faulkner families.

Thank you for looking Kucinta
